Elbow to play ‘warm-up’ gig at Connexin Live

By Simon Bristow Co-Editor

Multi-award-winning band Elbow will perform a “warm-up” gig in Hull in May ahead of a UK tour promoting their new album.

The group will be at Connexin Live on Sunday, May 5, with tickets on sale from 10am this Friday – the same day their new album AUDIO VERTIGO is released.

Elbow previously performed a sold out show at the Myton Street venue in September 2021, a long rescheduled gig due to the Covid pandemic.

“We are restless” singer Guy Garvey said of the new album. “There’s a lot wrong with the country and the world. But we decided not to reflect but to distract. The frustrations are there but it’s all channelled.

“Generally, we had a blast making it because the lads are at the height of their collective evil musical genius. And they’re actually getting funnier. We found these grooves playing together in little garagey rooms again. Gnarly, seedy grooves that pulled some very dark memories and humour from me.”

Standing and seated tickets will be available from www.connexinlivehull.com or by visiting new official ticketing partner AXS. VIP and hospitality upgrades are also available for all shows; email hull@eu.asmglobal.com for further details.
